In the quarter-finals, both Vinh City Youth and Thanh Chuong Youth defeated Hoang Mai Town Youth and Que Phong Youth respectively after the penalty shootout.
Like Thieu Nien Quynh Luu in the first semi-final, Thieu Nien Thanh Pho Vinh, with their superior physique and physical strength, launched a fierce attack right after the opening whistle. In the first 10 minutes of the match, the ball mainly rolled on the field of Thieu Nien Thanh Chuong players.
After many missed opportunities, the advantage of Vinh City Youth was concretized by the goal of number 12 Pham Manh Cuong in the 14th minute when this player quickly finished into the top corner in a messy situation in front of goalkeeper Vo Tran Gia Bao of Thanh Chuong Youth.
Riding on the momentum, just 2 minutes later, Vinh City Youth increased the score to 2-0 thanks to number 9 Pham Ngoc Quan after a very quick volley in the penalty area that hit the opposing team's goalkeeper.
In the second half, Vinh City Youth was still the team with complete dominance with fast attacks on both wings and good passing in the middle. Not only that, the city players were also ready to launch powerful long shots.
In the 29th minute, after intercepting a pass from Thieu Nien Thanh Chuong right in the middle of the field, number 9 Pham Ngoc Quan dribbled the ball one more time and then fired a powerful shot, defeating goalkeeper Vo Tran Gia Bao, raising the match score to 3-0.
There weren't many favorable attacking situations, but Thanh Chuong Youth still scored a goal to narrow the gap in the 35th minute. During an attack by the players from the land of the monkeys, the referee determined that a player from Vinh City Youth let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area. On the penalty spot, No. 11 Vo Nguyen Thai Bao kicked accurately, narrowing the gap to 2 goals.
But Vo Nguyen Thai Bao's goal was all that Thieu Nien Thanh Chuong had in this match. In the following minutes, Thieu Nien Thanh Pho Vinh, despite replacing almost all of its key players, still managed to score a goal in the 45th minute thanks to number 4 Dao Cong Gia Kiet.
In the end, Vinh City Youth won against Thanh Chuong Youth with a score of 4-1. In the final match, the city team will have the opportunity to "repay the debt" it "owed" to Quynh Luu Youth from last year's final match.
